00:00You guys have really spoiled us these last couple of years with Laugh Track and Frankenstein.
00:10What's it been like living in the universe of those records?
00:12How's it affected the shows?
00:13I think it's been great.
00:14I mean, it's really, there's a lot of music, so it means a lot of new music for us to play.
00:18Not everything, but a lot of it.
00:19And we've really tried to mix up the setlist a lot and try and be more dynamic in that
00:23way just because it's interesting for everyone.
00:26I mean, our records, our songs always get better and better the more we play them live
00:31and that's happening to a lot of the songs on these last two records.
00:36But then we're also going way back and doing really old songs that we haven't done in years
00:41and those are even getting better than they ever were before.
00:45There's versions of Geese of Beverly Road and Runaway that we've been doing now that
00:50we're like, why did we take that out?
00:53So we're actually enjoying all of the songs we've written over the past 25 years a lot.
00:59The new ones and the old ones.
01:01So yeah, that's why I don't like to know what's going to be on the setlist because if I know
01:06that I won't, not knowing, every time it's like a new flavor gumball and I get to take
01:13that little red pill or whatever and go to that song in a new way every time.
01:17If I knew what all the songs were going to be, I think I wouldn't be able to let go as
01:20much and just enjoy it.
01:22And I think that's why I'm enjoying it so much.
01:25Is there anything else in the left track Frankenstein Universe to come, working on another record?
01:32We kind of purged, once we started writing again, I wrote to almost everything that was
01:39in the folders and made a song out of everything.
01:42And now the folders are filling up and I've been writing a lot but I think we're just
01:49going to take it nice and slow.
01:53The garden is full of seeds but we're just, you know, we don't know when it's going to
02:00start to bloom or anything like that but we're in a very creative, we're in a gardening phase.
